Secret microphones on Strictly Come Dancing have revealed exactly what Adam Peaty and Katya Jones said to each other just before their ‘near kiss’.
The dance partners have been the talk of the BBC show since appearing to almost lock lips with each other at the end of their sexy Argentine tango dance on Saturday night.
In the final moments before the dance finished, the couple were seen staring into each other’s eyes with their faces inches apart.
As they break out of the routine Olympic swimmer Adam is seen leaning in towards Katya, before the professional dancer pulls away.
Fans believe the 26-year-old was going to kiss Katya, before stopping himself when he realised he was on TV.
The show releases ‘secret mic’ audio of what is being said on dancefloor each week.
Posting the clip on the official Strictly social media channels, Katya is heard telling Adam to “push” then “relax” as they danced their routine.
At one point during their sizzling Tango, Katya tells Adam to “go, attack!”.
But eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out that the clip at the end of their dance - when they had the couple had their ‘near kiss’ - is not shown.
One fan said: “Wimping out at the end of Adam & Katya.”
“I’d love to know what was said at the end of Adam and Katya’s dance,” another wrote.
While a third chimed in: “You know I love these [clips] so much, but there’s one couple who aren’t really being shown much here.”
Adam, who has a one-year-old son with his girlfriend Eiri, hit back after criticism from viewers - accusing people of “getting carried away”.
He told Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show: “You don’t want to do a dance like that and not do it justice because you haven’t switched on right at the end.
“It’s about being believable and that’s what some people get carried away with – but hey ho, that’s life.”
Katya has kept quiet over the kiss claims, perhaps because it’s not the first time she has got close to one of her dance partners.
In 2018, she was pictured kissing comedian Seann Walsh outside a London pub after a long day of rehearsals.
Seann had a girlfriend - who immediately dumped him when she found out - and Katya was married to fellow Strictly dancer Neil Jones at the time.
Katya was reportedly warned about getting close to her dance partner on this year’s show as bosses didn’t want another Strictly scandal.
According to The Sun, a backstage professional on the show told Katya: “Don’t let yourself down by getting too close to a partner again. Please don’t put yourself in this position.”
